Happy Brick Friday everyone! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I got some wonderful birthday gifts, #4437 Police Pursuit and #3661 Bank & Money Transfer.
After eating some turkey and getting the kids down, I waiting in line at the Tigard, OR LEGO Store for 40 minutes. I had two targets, the new Police Heavy Lift Helicopter and the recently marked down Emerald Night. It went great once I got into the store, I grabbed both sets and was first in line to check out. On my pull tab, I got a 20% discount! With the $15 of VIP point redemption, it only cost $85 for an Emerald Night and Heavy Lift Helicopter.
With the purchases I also got the #2 Christmas Set and a PAB box for free. I have the Winter Post Office coming in the mail tomorrow along with some Duplo sets for my sons and their friend's birthday. I will have a #2 Christmas Set coming with that one as well.
Overall it was a great experience. Now I am trying to map out what to get now or wait till the Boxing Day sales with the discontinued sets.
I'd love to hear other people's experiences!

Will you be posting reviews and pics of these sets once they are constructed?
ReplyDelete@HardtravelingHero I plan on doing that once they are all constructed. Currently the Bank & Money Transfer is in the process of being modified into a 1 store 16x32 modular. The Emerald Night is still boxed up. The two police sets were a kick to build I will be posting pictures later.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I'm interested in seeing how you modify the bank.
